Default weddings are a great place

Chandler: Because weddings are a great place to meet women, and when I dance, I look like this… (Starts to dancing really, really, really badly. Ross enters behind him and he stops.)

Is there something wrong with "weddings are a great place", because "weddings" is a plural, and "a" is sigural.

Yes, the I think would be correct to say either,
"Because a wedding is a great place to meet women..."
or
"Because weddings are great places to meet women..."
